Speaking of Hummus...

[Guest guest]

I found this hummus recipe in a newspaper article on

the 'net and thought I would pass it on. Sounds really

good.

 

Scott Peacock wrote a cookbook with Edna Lewis (not

vegetarian) - the famous southern chef - last year and

cooks with her often. This is a recipe from the

restaurant he works at. He was shown on Dweezil & Lisa

on TV Food Network last week. He works in Atlanta, GA.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation

Method

-------- ------------

--------------------------------

1 pound large dried lima beans

3 cloves garlic (to 4) -- peeled

1/3 cup tahini

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil (to

1-1/2)

1/4 cup lemon juice -- freshly

squeezed

 

Pick through and wash the lima beans. Put them into a

heavy pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2

inches. Bring to a boil and then simmer, partially

covered, until they are very tender but not mushy.

Remove from the heat and drain, reserving the cooking

liquid.

To the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steal

blade, add the drained beans, garlic, tahini, salt,

pepper, and cayenne. Puree this mixture, and with the

motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon

juice.

 

If the puree is too thick, pour in a little of the

reserved cooking liquid until the puree is silky

smooth in appearance and on the tongue. Taste

carefully for seasoning and add more salt and cayenne,

if desired.

 

3-1/3 cups
